I have to think about it when someone asks my age - not that I specifically feel younger, but it's always a bit of a shock when I remember. Really, THAT old?

In the last couple of years I was in a relationship with someone who made me feel carefree and light and very good about myself and then with someone who made me feel tired and dull. The second one was way nicer but I hated the tired dull feeling.

Left to my own devices, I feel cheerful and comfortable in my skin and ageless. Bit of a shock when someone treats me as past it. PAST IT? And then I think oh crap maybe I am and I'm living in a fool's paradise.

I may go live in a cave daydream No one there to disturb my perception of myself as warm, witty, wise, sensual (tried to find a word that means sensual but starts with a w. Not so wise, eh?) wensual *hard stare* and a bit wicked devil

I think that our concept of age, and ageing, is mostly due to societal perception conversing


In terms of my feelings about me .. I have the same sense of wonder about the world, the same drive and thirst for knowledge, the same care for nature, and consuming interest in art, travel and literature as I did when I was 20.

I've learned a lot but but not sure I'm wiser lol, but I'm hopeful and optimistic, always.

Today I turned 60, funny that I feel the same as when I was 59 giggle

Thank you BJ hug


I think that our 50s (Biff wink ) may represent a coming of age where we realise that our youth has gone, irrevocably, and we try to reconcile that with our 30s or 40s that went in the blink of an eye angel2


Let's not waste a minute worrying about that, fighting fit and strong, us cheers

Hi Serene wave You are beautiful no matter your age.

Many happy returns happy birthday happy birthday lips lips wine wine bouquet
I agree with you.

For those that have interests other than Football, Fast food, boozing and watching the idiots lantern, I say practical interests of any kind keep our brains active and us cheerful. I have had my main hobbies (Aircraft Aviation History and Model engineering) since I was 6 years old (Meccano) all of which are such, they have several areas of concentration, so I can, as I want, pick one or two and either read, write, Draw i and make it, sometimes all together and write an article about it afterwards for future reference. That keeps my brain active and has been therapy since my wife died in 2007.

Good luck - keep on bantering - I think You are gorgeous

I think my head & my body are not on the same level..
A prime example was , a year or so back when I was involved in a game of football.. As I approached to make a tackle, my mind said you can win the ball but the legs said otherwise..
Needless to say, I mistimed the tackle & took the opposition players legs instead... I did receive some nasty comments , to which I replied , " I got there as quick as I could"

A prime example was dunno laugh

Music has mainly kept me young, its an interest l had since l was born but l have never 'thought' old so its a combination of the two.

It had Spitfires and modern aircraft, plus the incredible Red Arrows, breathtaking happy place

Before, like you, I have to do a double-take before stating what age I am!laugh

I know for a fact I feel much younger than my biological age.

I neither feel like it, nor act like it.

I giggle sometimes at work (I work with people in their 20s and 30s ), and they would be sometimes talking about somebody older (40s) who they think is obviously 'past it', and then say something about 'us', the young ones, and including me in it laugh


Age is more about attitude than numbers.

So very true Biff thumbs up


Like Molly I've never felt like an outsider when mixing with younger people .. age doesn't seem to occur to me or them confused


I've always dated younger men also, not intentionally, it's just the way it's been and I have no need to examine that thumbs up

Actually I got old in my 40s then I struck a completely unexpected Indian summer in my 50s and it has been an absolute riot and rollercoaster for a couple of years, smoothing out a bit now, phew. You are timeless, Serene, and funny, and lovely, and I want to be just like you! applause

Oh aye, how weird is that, when you do something your head knows you can do and your body says what? wait! noooooo! - remember that thing where you're pushing a heavy shopping trolley and you push yourself up on your arms and coast for a bit?

Last time I did that my biceps whinged for 2 solid days afterwards. Sheesh.

Look into walking football. It's getting really popular!

Ohh how lovely you are Biff teddybear

Your thread resonated with me, seriously..

My forties saw me footloose and fancyfree, my fifties not so much .. many changes and challenges in my life which I guess caused me to grow up a little, reluctantly.

But I'll never lose my Pollyanna view of life nor my rose-coloured glasses blushing

As I view my baby girl, just turned 40, having a similar optimistic outlook and lust for life, so proud blushing
